I walked over, propped the bedside table up, and placed the bowl of soup and a spoon before him. I said, "Eat up, I'll head off to work." "Do you think I can feed myself in this state?" He raised his right hand that was hooked on a drip and looked atquizzically.
I was flabbergasted. I looked at him with astonishment on my face. Was he really askingto feed him in a situation like this? He raised his head and his eyebrows at me, his intentions crystal clear. He wantedto feed him.

Theo's face changed slightly as he frowned. "No need." Instantly, there was a subtle change in the atmosphere.
Cindy's hands shook, then she pretended as though nothing had happened as she continued, "I spent a long tcooking this. Have a taste.” She then tried to feed him a spoonful of chowder.
I turned around and was about to leave.
Theo called out tobefore telling Zedd, "Send Cindy back, then go to the office and apply for leave for Wanda. She's not going to work today." There were different expressions on our faces. In particular, Cindy and Zedd's faces were extremely cold, and they were in foul moods.
As much as Cindy may not know how to read the room, she understood what Theo meant. She had an incredulous look on her face.
Zedd stepped in to pull Cindy aside. "Cindy, Theo just underwent an operation. He needs to rest. Why don't w e cback tomorrow?" "I don't want to!" Cindy's eyes were red-rimmed.

"You won't leave? Okay, I'll leave!" Theo tried to get up with much difficulty and was about to get down from his bed.
"Don't move. Be careful of your wounds." I rushed over to help him.
Cindy bit her lip and lowered her gaze. "Theowy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'm just afraid, I'm so afraid that you'll throwaway in the future. Please don't be angry, okay? I promise I won't fight with you ever again. Please, I beg you, letstay. Don't chaseaway, okay?"

I was not a pushover. It was just that when I saw how feeble Cindy was, I of what I was like was reminded previously. I relented and exited the ward quietly without saying a word. When I arrived at the office, my assistant crunning tofrantically.
Ever since the talk I had with Heidi, she had been on sick leave. Hence, the company got another assistant for me.
"Something bad has happened, President Lane!" The assistant tapped her chest frantically as she fumbled.
"Don't be anxious. Slowly tellabout it." I looked at her.
"Our new product commercial has been plagiarized and is now playing on all major platforms."
"When did it happen? Which company's products? Is ita om coincidence?" I shot up to my feet in shock and asked a few questions in one go. The master copy of the commercial had been withall this while. Since it had not gotten leaked, how could it have been plagiarized?
